The thousand-year Bodhi Pearl

Gu Hesheng said as he watched. "This thing is called the Bodhi bead, a very famous Buddhist artifact."

he pointed at a bead. " look, there's a layer of ebony on the outside. on the inside, there's agates unique to the 5000-meter plateau. "

Liancheng Yazhi was very surprised. there's a stone inside. No wonder it's so heavy.

"However, this wood seems to be a bead that can be directly formed. How did the stone get in?"

Gu Hesheng explained to him,"using ebony that is over a thousand years old, cut it into fine powder and then wrap it around the agate layer by layer. It's a bit like the Han Dynasty's lacquer ware."

wrap it layer by layer, then press it firmly, air-dry it, and dry it for ten years. Every process is very cumbersome. When it's confirmed that it won't crack, we find a craftsman and carve it.

it's usually a Buddhist story. This one seems to be the story of the Kongtong Buddha under the Bodhi tree.
